‘Gen V’ Teaser: Superpowered Teens Face Off In Bloody First Spinoff Of ‘The Boys’

Prime Video’s hit superhero series, “The Boys,” features a huge scope, as it focuses on a world where superheroes are not only real but are the biggest celebrities on the planet. Oh yeah, and they’re employed by a Disney-esque megacorporation. But that show, while epic in nature, only focuses on the established supes, the ones who are already household names. The first spinoff, “Gen V,” on the other hand, takes a look at the next generation of superheroes and the drama surrounding them.
